Formerly including Sven Maes,[1] the group also recorded as Svenson & Gielen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsfɛnsɔn ɛŋ ˈɣilə(n)]) and several other pseudonyms.
The name Airscape was first used by Johan Gielen for work with other producers, mostly Jos Borremans.
Gielen and Sven Maes started producing together in 1994 under the alias Body Heat.
They are known for their songs like "L'Esperanza" (1999) and "The Beauty of Silence" (2000), but are also known for their remixes of singles such as Tiësto's "Sparkles", Vengaboys' "Kiss (When the Sun Don't Shine)",[2] Chicane's "Halcyon" and Delerium's "Silence", the latter of which was used as the lead single release and in the music video of the song when it was re-issued in 2000, reaching the top 3 of the UK Singles Chart.
Their remixes have a distinctive and easily recognized style; they fade in and out looped vocals, overlay simple chord patterns on a fuzzy-sounding synthesizer, and almost always cut the bass and drums about halfway through the song to bring an ostinato to the foreground before returning to the main theme.
